Chapter Thirty-eight: The AMA's

Two months later

Robyn

After weeks of practices and sound checks my big night is finally here and I couldn't be happier. If my feet weren't so swollen I would do a cartwheel. Not only am I performing at the AMA's but I'm also going to receive the first ever AMA Icon Award. How cool is that? I had a good time sitting in the audience watching other people perform and win their awards but the best part of the show has yet to come. I will be hitting the stage to perform and receive my award in a half hour and while I'm waiting my glam squad went to work.

"I'm so proud of you Robyn. Every time I think you've done it all you turn around and do something else. What are you gonna do next?" Melissa said as she watched me get my make up done.

"She might just run for president. You know she loves to boss everyone around." Yusef said. He was sitting next to Mel on my dressing room couch waiting for the makeup artist to give him room to fix my hair.

"Shut up Yusef. I am not bossy."

"Keep telling yourself that."

"Where is Chris?" Melissa asked.

"He went to get me something to eat." Just then there was a knock on the door and Chris appeared in the doorway with a plate of fruit and a bottle of water in his hands.

"There's my little icon." He said before he kissed my cheek. "How are you feeling?"

"Hungry. Where is my food?"

"First you're having hot flashes and now you can't see. I swear you're turning into a Mommom." Yusef laughed and I gave him the finger. When he was doing my hair earlier I was sweating so bad he had to wrap my hair back up.

"She can see. She just thought I was gonna bring her a bunch of junk to eat but she's gonna eat this fruit and be happy about it." Chris said as he gave me the plate. I rolled my eyes and stuck my tongue out at him. "Fine but I'm only it cuz I'm hungry as hell." My make up artist put the finishing touches on my face and Yusef started doing my hair.

"Do you two ever stop fighting?" Melissa asked.

"Of course. They gotta be nice to each other so they can fuck." Yusef said.

"Will you shut up?" I said to Yusef.

"You got one more time to tell me to shut up and you wont have any hair."

"What are you two fussing about now?" My mom asked when she walked into my dressing room.

"Nothing. Your daughter is just being mean to me as usual."

"You have to bare with her Yusef. Those hormones have her emotions all over the place."

"Don't believe him. He was making fun of me cuz I don't feel good."

"Are you still feeling warm? Do you want me to get you something to drink?"

"Chris already got me a water. I think I just need to sit in front of a fan for a while."

"Well that fan is gonna have to wait cuz when I get this hair laid I don't want that wind to mess it up." Yusef said with his hand on his hip.

"Chill out drama queen. A little air won't hurt her." Chris said, turning the fan on.

"Fine but keep it on low. I don't want my girl to walk out there to get her award with her hair all over the place."

"Have you practiced your speech yet Mama?" I asked before I popped a few grapes in my mouth. Jen pulled a few strings so my mom could present my award to me.
